Computer Engineering
Designing computing machines + Hardware/software design
Improving life through advancing computer technologies.
Computer Engineering fuses computer science with electrical engineering to develop systems and solutions for the technological industry.
Computer Engineering focuses on the science and tools behind designing, constructing, implementing and maintaining software and hardware components of modern computing systems. By emphasizing algorithmic, electronic, and digital design principles, Computer Engineering prepares you to develop effective and innovative technological systems and solutions. As a graduate of Computer Engineering, you may be involved in circuit design and development, hardware integration, and system level design integration.

Greetings everyone! I'm Shaan Saharan, and my journey as a Computer Engineering student commenced at the University of Guelph in 2020. Since then, I've forged countless cherished memories. One aspect I particularly treasure about my engineering experience at Guelph is the opportunity to collaborate with fellow engineers in the Engineering Design courses. This dynamic setting not only allows me to engage with individuals from various engineering disciplines but also mirrors the collaborative environment prevalent in the industry.
